Impromptu Baguio Trip | Mines View Park & Good Shepherd

I'm a little shy to tell you this, but I am going to anyway. I've been alive for almost 26 years now but I've never ever been to Baguio. At least before this impromptu trip.

Impromptu, because I only found out that I was invited to our Managers' wedding (which was on Saturday) on a Monday night. Which was less than a week! But because I'm kaladkarin like that, I said yes.

The next day, I looked for an outfit. And I finally completed my outfit by Thursday, so I immediately packed that night, as we are leaving for Baguio tomorrow after work.

We arrived in Baguio City Friday night, about 10 pm. It was already late, and it's cold since rain has just started. We decided to just settle in and wait for the rest of our friends to arrive. The gorgeous bride was so hands-on, she even booked an Airbnb for some of their friends and family! We stayed at the cozy Baguio Townhouse Condominium which was near the wedding venue.

Behind Baguio Townhouse Condominium, was a residential condo by DMCI which is called "Outlook Ridge."

Me and two of my friends woke up past 8 am that morning. We figured it was still very early, so we decided to go out and look for a breakfast place.

We rode a jeepney and took off at the last stop. I forgot where we were, but perhaps it's what they call sentro. Here's a video of our little roadtrip!

The next morning, despite having a terrible hangover from all that alcohol I drank, we decided a hot lugaw with egg was a must. When I felt I was done throwing up and we're sober enough, we then headed out! We're only in Baguio until Sunday, and I sure won't waste it by staying in bed and feeling that hangover. 🤣

First stop: Mines View park! It was about 5-minutes away from our place, so we decided to just walk. It even helped rid our hangovers! Plus the weather was too nice! It was only 8 am. The sun and the heat were not yet too much.

And so we walked... And I made sure I took photos because it was my first time here.

I fell in love with the trees, the temperature, and the fresh air. I never thought I needed all that because I have always loved living in the city...

Hotels everywhere...

Here's us, attempting to take a selfie, until I found out that my camera went autofocus.
